According to data released by the National Energy Administration on the 28th, in 2018, the utilization rate of renewable energy including hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power generation, biomass power generation, etc. in China has increased significantly, and “disposal of water”, “abandonment of wind” and “abandonment of light” Get mitigation.

According to Li Chuangjun, deputy director of the New Energy and Renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Administration, in 2018, China's water abandonment was about 69.1 billion kWh. In the case that the incoming water was better than the previous year, the national average water energy utilization rate reached 95. %about.

“Abandoning the wind” is mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia. In 2018, China's wind power abandonment was 27.7 billion kWh, a year-on-year decrease of 14.2 billion kWh, and the wind curtailment rate dropped by 5 percentage points year-on-year. The situation in most areas with severe wind curtailment has improved.

In response to the problem of the continuous increase in the subsidy gap caused by the rapid growth of photovoltaic power generation construction and the serious shortage of light and electricity, in 2018, the National Energy Administration and the relevant departments timely optimized the development policy of the photovoltaic industry, and added new installed capacity for photovoltaic power generation throughout the year. 44.26 million kilowatts, second only to the new installed capacity in 2017, the second highest in history.

By the end of 2018, China's renewable energy power generation capacity reached 728 million kilowatts, an increase of 12%. The annual generation of renewable energy is 1.87 trillion kWh, an increase of about 170 billion kWh. The role of clean energy replacement for renewable energy is increasingly prominent.

"In 2019, we will actively promote the construction of unfunded and affordable online projects for wind power and photovoltaic power generation, comprehensively implement the competitive allocation mechanism for wind power and photovoltaic power plant projects, establish a sound new mechanism for renewable energy power consumption, and promote distributed renewable energy in combination with power reform. Energy and electricity marketization transactions, etc., comprehensively promote the high-quality development of renewable energy." Li Chuangjun said.
